Guest access:
The apartment has its own entrance and parking. The first entrance on the northwest corner is the access to the apartment. There are four steps down from the outside entrance. Beyond the guest entrance outside is my family’s stair entrance to our space upstairs.
Other things to note:
Due to the natural surroundings of our property, it is possible that wildlife, bugs and insects may be present outside. We strive to maintain a comfortable environment, but we cannot eliminate the presence of wildlife in such a nature-rich area. Thank you for your understanding and enjoy your stay close to nature!
You will hear us above you from time to time while walking, watching TV or maybe our loveable Yellow Labrador Josie sauntering across the floor. We home school our two boys during the day and are mostly just doing our work and relatively quiet. In the winter we perform all the snow removal with a plow and snowblower so you may see us working to keep the space clear.
We provide a cold and hot water dispenser for your use. Please be aware the hot water dispenser is very hot. There are built-in safety measures on the unit to avoid accidental burns.
We are on a well and septic tank, so please help us care of our system by not flushing anything but toilet paper in the toilet.
In the event of any type of power failure we run a generator while repairs are being made. This rarely happens and power is usually restored quickly. The generator does not provide full lighting or appliance use capability. It will however keep the wi-fi, water, and heat going. The main breaker box is in the apartment space and if in the event access is needed, we will contact you for permission to enter and resolve the problem.
